The regular monthly meeting of the Board of
Officers of the Congregation B'nai Israel met
at 8 P.M. at 814 K. Absent Mr. Chas. P Nathan,
L.G. Reynolds, and Leo Garfinkle.
The reading of the minutes of previous meeting
read and approved.

The Committee on Resolutions made the following
report. At a meeting of the Board of Congregation
B'nai Israel held at the Temple, a motion was made that
Resolutions be drafted and present same to Mr. Albert
Elkus, the retiring President of our Congregation. The Board
desires to place on record its high appreciation of the
invaluable services provided to the Congregation by Mr. Elkus
during his connection with it covering a period of nearly 40 years.
Whereas during those many years he has been a member of
the Board, and for many years held the office of Vice President
and then the office of President, but now
declining a re-election. And, whereas his labors have
been marked by a spirit of devotion and by an intelligent
judgement, be it resolved, therefore, that we extend
to him besides our appreciation of the value of these
services, and our thanks for what he has done, also our
best wishes for his health and prosperity, and express
our earnest desire that he may for many years to come
continue to take an active part and interest in our Congregation
B'nai Israel.
